Chief librarian Damon Huost of Nuralla is curretly gathering material for his government-supported book, "Great Events of The World". Here, he will have a collection of big, historical events of every nation he can get knowledge of.

So we, the Nurallain Government, requests that information about great historical events of all nations willing to share, will be sent to the Honorable Damon Houst. We will accept anything, from battles to technology changes, as long as it has some meaning to the nation's history and culture.

Sincerely, The Nurallain Government

Hmm well in a matter of weeks Yurka is planning to begin construction of its first permanent lab on the dark side of the moon. Other than that here are a few other things which happened in our history, though whether they are great or not is really debatable... We'll only add the most important of the things which transpired.

-

280 BC - Isle of Yurka is founded by a Shamanistic Religious Sect. The Empire begins.

Very Late 20th Century - The people of Yurka flaunt that they use prisoners along with criminals from other nations for their manual labor. War is sparked with the nation of Allanea, eventually ending with numerous nuclear explosions over the capital city, Yurka City, which housed millions of people. The island becomes unliveable and a mass exodus, backed by the remaining naval fleet, takes place.

Late 20th Century/Early 21st Century - Yurka eventually takes control of a small outlaying region, eventually founding an isolationist nation in the region. This goes on for over two generations of technological improvement, most helped by Yurka's extensive spy networks in other nations. Only recently has the nation come out of hiding, and is now at war with the nation of Czardas almost immediately after coming back onto the international stage.


But overall the greatest thing to ever happen to Yurka was our architectural ability to build almost impossibly large cities. Yurka's culture essentially revolves around building massive aesthetically pleasing buildings.

You do know that there is no dark side of the moon, right? There is a side that always faces away from the Earth, but that side alternates between light and dark just as the side that faces us does.

Tynaria celebrates Inventor's Day, which is a national holiday and exists to celebrate all the scientific and technical achievements of individual inventors and engineers over our history. It is also known in some parts as Engineer's Day, and falls on July 29th, the day that the first powered flight took place in Tynaria in the year 1891.

The government also recognizes the day the first Tynarian entered orbit on June 17th, 1952. Fireworks, military aircraft fly-bys and other visual displays of aerospace technology are common on this day.

Notice: I tend to operate my nation on a technology level comparable to that of modern-day America, advanced to a degree in some areas and retarded in others. We have a significant lead over the present-day United States in the areas of aerospace and nuclear technology, though efficient fusion power has yet to be developed, and no Tynarian has set foot on Mars as of yet (the latter program has been initiated, and should come to fruition within the decade). I don't RP because I lack the time... college requires a great deal of it.

Also, we are an empire in name only - a tradition left over from ages past. There is no emperor - only a President, as well as separate legislative and judicial bodies. The President of Tynaria wields considerably less power than the president of the United States, although our other political structures are comparable to those of modern-day America.

OOC: Yeah but I didn't know how to describe it any other way. Though at least its better than calling it the back of the moon I think. Any idea what I should call the side facing away from the earth in the future?

West Corinthia
01-02-2006, 21:16
1991-The state of Corinthia splinters from the collapsed Soviet Union. It covers the areas of former Georgia (the country), Azerbaijin, Armenia, and the surrounding lands.
1992-Vladimir Demorov is the first democratically elected president of Corinthia.
1998-A military coup is carried out by former KGB agents led by Vasili Kotov. Vladimir Demorov flees to the East, goes insane and proclaims himself Sultan of East Corinthia. The East and West hate eachother intensely for the years that follow. The West gains political, military, and economic strength while the East grows poorer and resorts to terrorist attacks on West Corinthian citizens.
Early 2006-After the assassination of a West Corinthian general by East Corinthian insurgents the government of West Corinthia finally declared war and invaded East Corinthia. They currently occupy most of the country. The former president has not been found though the search is intensifying.

Antanjyl
01-02-2006, 22:08
The most glorious moment in the history of Antanjyl was...

570 AD - When our Emperor Galf came to us and eventually founded the capital of Antalia. From there he commited massive genocides against our oppressers and eventually led us to our present, after taking a centuries-long exodus.

800-850 AD - The Propher Rashidi is born and helps shape the older religion more, pushing us closer to The Lord Below and worship of Him.

And just six months ago our Emperor was killed. Eventually we plan on having a celebration of his life before the eventual bodyless funeral begins. It also led to our eventually liberation and first elections to ever take place on Antanjylian soil.

Official Government Statement
Constitutional Matriarchy of Reloria

Greetings. I hope the Goddess blesses Damon Huost so that his work is a great success -- it will be of benefit to many people for many generations, I am sure!

The history of the Constitutional Matriarchy is very short I'm afraid. For the past six hundred years, we have been occupied by three successive empires who used our country for their own economical gain. Last week, however, the last empire officially withdrew their claim to Reloria and were finally a free nation once again! The election of this new government directly and deliberately coincided with this momentous occasion, and was equally historic because it means that we have the first ever democracy here in Reloria.

This is just a brief summary of the events thus far, if M. Huost needs more elaboration I will be happy to have someone help him along.

Greetings from the Glroious Republic of Katangara!

We are proud to share our great history with those who wish to know it - indeed there are many nation forging moments again and again in our history.

the most important event in our history happened in the year 2000, when the terrorist group known as The League revealed their existance violently. many hundreds of thousands of people were killed in a single night of bloody violence, culminating with a vicious sub-orbital attack. The League, using their connections throughout civilian and government agencies, dropped an unused communications satellite on the capital city, levelling it and creating a large crater, where the capital city now sits, rebuilt in all it's glory.
Katangara-City today stands inside the crater, the great city built into the walls of the crater, as well as suspended in the air by great pillars of engineering genius.

We in the Federation are regretful to admit that our nation has a fairly short history, though here is our most important event.

March 26, 1990: Rebel leader Nathan Wimbush overthrows the previous rulers, the Empire of Four, and establishes the Federation

This set the stage for the current government, and Wimbush is held dear to all Federation citizens.
